Aubrey
was definitely a fan of this band. She blared "She Will Be
Loved" as she drove through Kansas City, Missouri. Her
roommate/best friend had never been a fan of this band until
recently. Her best friend had been studying for her forensics final
at UMKC in their dorm when she had left.
It was their junior year in college
at UMKC and it was already almost over. Aubrey was so psyched to
finally have a free summer. She hadn't seen anyone since her
and her best friend had left their small town life at Rockerville.
They had always hated living there. At a young age they both got on
the internet, looked up the farthest away college, and set their
hearts on going there. And they accomplished it.
They never visited Rockerville.
Never even saw their family. Their family came to them. They just
wanted to be away from every single person there. Aubrey was so
excited to get a full golf scholarship to the university and her
best friend had gotten a full ride with academics. Her best friend
was the smartest person she knew and in a way, she envied that. She
envied her life and everything in it. But she never told her best
friend this.
When Aubrey convinced her best
friend to give Maroon 5 a chance, she finally realized they
weren't that bad. They both left the dorm at 2:30 A.M., went to
TARGET, and bought every maroon 5 cd they had. They were always
doing crazy things like this. Like every Saturday night, at exactly
1:00 a.m., they went to a diner only they knew of called Uncle
Sam's. And yes, you could say Uncle Sam's wasn't the
classiest place. But it were cheap enough for two college girls who
usually just bought coffee and talked to the regulars. Like Frida,
a crazy old woman who worked there, that told them stories that
made them laugh for hours or an old man named Calvin that always
offered them free donuts. Of course they would politely take them,
but neither of them tried them, just in case. People can be crazy
in Kansas City!
Although they both never told anyone
about Uncle Sam's, because it was their secret place ever since
freshman year, this is where Aubrey met Troy. Troy had just
graduated from college when they met. He was studying to be a
dentist and Aubrey knew he'd be the best one yet. She still
remembered the first day they met two years ago.
"I'll take one black
coffee." her best friend had ordered. "I'm going to
go play the jukebox. Anything you wanna hear?"
Aubrey looked at her in a way,
"I don't care, but please no Backstreet Boys."
She just smiled, "No promises.
Tell me when my coffee is here." and she walked off leaving
Aubrey to sit at the bar alone and stir her water with a straw.
"Just water, huh?" A voice
said beside her.
She looked at him dumbfounded.
"Huh?" She was mesmerized by his looks. He had short
blonde hair, very professional looking. He had blue eyes that
looked like oceans. He was perfect. Not one flaw on his skin and
straight, white teeth.
"You're just having
water?" He repeated flawlessly. His deep voice was
gorgeous.
She smiled and looked down at
her drink. "Uh, yeah. I'm not much of a coffee drinker.
I'm more into sweet stuff. My best friend loves it black."
She said with a laugh.
"Once you go black, you
never go back." He laughed, she joined too.
The rest of the night they chatted
and eventually switched numbers. She spent the next week telling
her best friend all about this perfect, charming guy. And
that's where it all began.
That's where Aubrey was heading
now. To Troys condo. He was rich, Aubrey found out later. And very,
very smart. She looked down at the rock on her left hand and
smiled. It was a gorgeous ring. Just what she had always dreamed
off. They would be getting married next summer and it would be
perfect.
Just like him. He was perfect in her eyes. But as she
drove silently, not listening to the Maroon 5 music anymore, she
questioned herself.
